Hello Artist,
I am currently holding a mail art call for everyone all over the
world to join in. Early next year through Spring I will be exhibiting
the art that I receive to local libraries and other artisan fairs in my
area, Ontario Canada. Specific dates are to be determined.
I kindly ask all participants to make a handmade bookmark or tag that is inspired by your favorite book.
It can be your favorite book as a child or as an adult, Or even both.
You can use any style, any genre, any theme, any size. any author.
You are also welcome to send as many as you wish. As long as there is a
hole punch at the top and a small space on the back that states your
name and where you are from.
Please send to:
Erin Young
P.o.Box 7146
Innisfil, Ontario
L9S 1A9
Canada
Also if you could state somewhere on the envelope that it is for the Mail Art Call, "Bookmarks & Tags"
I will post all received art to the I.U.O.M.A website as well as Instagram.

The
Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a word or expression chosen to reflect the
passing year in language.

Post-truth has been nominated as the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year
2016 and is an adjective defined as ‘relating to or denoting circumstances in
which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals
to emotion and personal belief’.

The practice of behaving in a way characteristic
of a responsible adult, especially the accomplishment of mundane but necessary
tasks.’,

‘alt-rightnoun

An ideological grouping associated
with extreme conservative or reactionary viewpoints, characterized by a
rejection of mainstream politics and by the use of online media to disseminate
deliberately controversial content.’,

‘Brexiteernoun, informal

A person who is in favour of the
United Kingdom withdrawing from the European Union.’,

It is
clear that this selection of words represent a certain mood within society both
within Europe and America, and is a representation of the increased sense of
unease in the world.

The
question for this Mail-Art project is what does the word ‘Post-truth’
represent?

My name is Karen Milszeski, I was a volunteer at Gallery 325 which was
in the house of Marilyn Dammann ( Shadow Works). The gallery closed this
year and a great deal of the mail art she had received is being
cataloged at the Calumet Art Center up in the Keweenaw peninsula. The
director of the center Ed Gray was a dear friend of Marilyn's. After we
get the mail art cataloged we will have a monthly show of the mail art
that she received either by artist or by the calls for art. We were
wondering if anyone out there has any of Marilyn's mail art that she
created to be added to what we have. Your response would be appreciated.
Message me on Facebook or email sidnawbooks@yahoo.com. Check out The
Calumet art Center on Facebook or web page. Thanks for your time. Karen
